Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate#115 (2/1998) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2005-2030
While not as backward as the 1996, the opaque purple-colored 1995 is a tannic, unevolved, dense, concentrated wine that will require 8-10 years of cellaring. The 1995 exhibits pain grille, blackcurrant, mineral, and subtle tobacco in its complex yet youthful aromatics. Powerful, dense, concentrated cassis and blueberry flavors might be marginally softer than in the 1996, but there is still plenty of grip and structure to this big wine. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/1/2007) Score: 92
Black licorice and currants on the nose. Very fragrant. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. Still needs time to come together.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2008. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Very masculine nose, with musky leather overtones. Full-bodied palate, with well-balanced acidity and fruit. |
